I WE MUST HAVE A PROTECTIONIST CONGRESS AS WELL AS PRESIDENT was nomination of Cox tbout by the worst : elements the Democratic party brought in Ohio has nver furnished a de feated candidate for the, presi dency, but the precedent will be smashed in three weeks from next Tuesday. That is, no Ohioan hav ing been nominated by a great party for the presidency ever has failed to reach th-i White House. William Henry Harrison, defeat ed in 1840, won in 1S14; William H. Taft, defeated In 1912,. was chosen in 1908. - ! The election of Harding and Coolidge, which now seems assured, does not mean a change in our tariff law. We must have a Republican, .protectionist Senate and House of Representatives as well as; President, and the next Congress, particularly the Senate, is in doubt. The situation, then, becomes an anxious one for our in dustry. If protection is not won on November 2. next, it will be four long year3 before 1 another "opportunity comes to change our tariff, and that! means a loss of at least $10, 000,000,000 in wages, based on the present volume of im ports, which may be doubled or trebled. It also means a loss of $500,000,000 a year in revenue, which must be made up through taxation. The losses arid sacrifices, the idleness and suffering, that would follow the election of Cox or of a Democratic Senate or House, is beyond compute. It would be an awful blow, staggering to all business and to all classes of our people. Many , industries and much business is waiting in suspense for the result' of - the election. If protection wins there should be a revival of industry over, all the country such as We have never known. If free trade wins, the outlook would be too awful to contemplate. Wages would simply have to be slashed and slaughtered, and even then thousands of fac tories and mills would have to close, r This is no idle statement. i . We have gone through it all before, the only difference be ing that we have further to fall than during previous free . trade periods. ' : It is time; for the American voter to look the situation squarely in the face. Our men and women workers should realize what i3 before them and awake to the danger. - 1 All other issues can wait, but the question of work and wfltrpa mtist be settled for rears to come. , , Speakers and editors should .emphasize this fact to their hearers and readers A Republican protectionist President, Senate and House must all be elected on November; (2 or a national catastrophe of most deplorable proportions will follow. . j In or'ler to run true to.foim.

(He did leave that inference by his tail-end speeches as he rushed through North Dakota in his mil lionaire special. That -. is, be aimed to have the followers of Townley draw that conclusion.) . Back in Ohio, wnen Coventor Cox smarted in politics as the pri vate secretary to Paul Sorgj the millionaire tobacco merchant of Butler v county, who represented ihe old Democratic third district, the presidential nominee was then known as "Promise All Jimmy." He had secured this cognomen Dy promising anything and every thing to everybody. In his swing around the circle he has simply enlarged the sphere in which he operated when he attended school at ,Middletown, and later on bloomed out as an assistant to Sorg, who had nothing but his money to recommend him in pol itics.

The old generation was content to have others run the riiks; develop the fields; bore the wells. making the sure profits, with their pipe lines, refineries, tank cars, tank ships, etc. The younger generation in the Standard Oil crowd has changed the policy. Thoy will prospect and bore for oil, at thc:r own risk, in any country or district In the entire world where"" ttie American flag will protect them. They are further awn in South America now than their competitors - under ,the British en sign. They are doing more pros pecting in Mexico and in many other countries than the Shell Royal Dutch-British bunch. But the latter is-more strongly intrenched In the Dutch East In dies, in Persia, India and many other parts of the world. Each competing group has about an equal number of tank ships; the "edge" Is .in favor of the outfit under the British flag. This is not a war of prices; not a war of markets. The world needs all the gaso line and coal oif ancr the by-pro ducts that can be turned tempts have in tne past been made to find oil. There is oil in Alaska; and the British bunch is bming away tip on the cdfw of Creat Mave lake, approaching the No. :n Polo. .V alem man's son l: one of th? party. There Is oil in California.

COLUMBIA; STTjOViES Modern penology, being rapid ly adopted by the progressive out; ! states of this country, provides The above is from the American Economist. It was no! doubt written by Wilbur F. Wakeman, the editor, and the general secretary and treasurer of the American Protective Tariff League, which position- he has occupied for many ' years. ' . ' Mr! Wakeman was, under the McKinley administration, Apprasier of the New York port. He is now a candidate for Congress on the Republican ticket in-the Wall Street district; a Tammany Democratic 'districts " -I ':' ' -,; '' Heis the best posted man in the United States on tariff matters. i He knows what he is talking about. " : . . . Four weeks ago, $10,000 was offered atv two to one on Chamberlain, in the Imperial hoted lobby at Portland, and up to ten days ago some money was offered on him at odds of 100 to 75. t v - Now Chamberlain money has disappeared from Portland, and there are thousands of dollars hung up in Portland in different -places on Stanfield at even money, with no takers. The Statesman is not a betting newspaper. The above two paragraphs are given as reliable news from a friend of the editor in Portland, j But it shows the trend; a healthy, sane, sensible trend. The Harding and CoolidgVs club in Portland has 15,000 members; pledged -to vote a straight Republican ticket; and they expect to increase the number to 25,000. No Republican in Oregon! man or woman, should think of voting for Senator Chamberlain. . No; not a single Democrat in Oregon should think of vot ing for him. I It is in the line of business suicide; industrial suicide; catastrophe. . ' , , Our woolen mills, our industries generally, bur .wool growers arid farmers generally, and our laborers must have protection or we will-all go flown together into the abysmal depths of business depression, in competition with China, Japan, India, Europe and the rest of the world, even now . cutting our balance of trade in two, and threatening to wipe it out altogether. l , . i The most important thing inithe world now, is to elect a Republican President and a Republican Coongress, and no man or woman high, or 'low, rich or poor, can afford to take any chances whatever. IS THERE OIL- IX OREGON? Perhaps alcohol will save the situation. Maybe scientists i will enable everybody to go out on the front lawn; cut the grass,! fork' it into a retort and an hour later, draw off a couple of gallons of motor fuel. Theoretically alcohol iu almost unlimited quantities can be distilled from every plant that grows, but unfortunately the cultivated crops are more Valu able for food and raiment than for ' ful, and uncultivated plant life is either too scant or the' pro cess of distillation is too expen sive. Unless an inexpensive! pro cess of distilling straw and sim ilar waste products Is invented, alcohol will scarcely cure the fuel shortage. j There is more crude oil in the western shale beds than In all the known oil fields of the United States combined. It is possible to extract this oil and in the course of time it will be extracted; and used, but it cannot take the place of the oil from the subterranean storage reservoirs because of the heavy cost of making the shale oil available. The use of inter nal combustion motors is predi cated upon. abundant and cheap fuel. Neither alcohol nor shale oil will take the place of the pe troleum pumped from wells with out seriously restricting the use fulness of the internal-combustion motor. To keep the industries dependent upon this motor going full speed the maintenance of the petroleum supply on its pres ent scale is imperative. October Sunset. The world is witnessing now. that can be pumped ln crude form from the bowels of the earth. It will all be ' gone in a few generations. , ,It is a war for 'more oil fields, more oil wells.. America will keep In the lead, with a strong government at Washington; she will lag behind with, a weak government; with a government milling around In the doldrums, as now.' In pursuance of its new policy the Standard Oil group is now boring for oil in Washington, near Montesano. Two wells are being put down. They may strike oil any day, in paying quantities. If they do, no douot they will toon be boring in the Willamette valley; in the Yamuiil 'district, where oil seepages nave been known for years; in Polk county, where there is natural gas In small flow; In Marlon county, where more or less ambitious at- for work and wages for convicts the money being paid to the wives and dependents of ithe convicts.
